Author Description

The Secret Doctrine: Occultism by H. P. Blavatsky is the final volume in a 3 volume set of books on Theosophy and occult ideas first published in 1897 in the United Kingdom. Sneak Peak “Power belongs to him who knows;” this is a very old axiom. Knowledge—the first step to which is the power of comprehending the truth, of discerning the real from the false—is for those only who, having freed themselves from every prejudice and conquered their human conceit and selfishness, are ready to accept every and any truth, once it is demonstrated to them. Of such there are very few.” Synopsis This is the somewhat controversial, third volume of The Secret Doctrine by H. P. Blavatsky which was published by Annie Besant after Blavatsky's death. Annie Besant (1847-1933) was a prominent British social reformer, women's rights activist, and theosophist. Born in London, she initially gained recognition as a champion of workers' rights and improved working conditions in the late 19th century. Later in her life, Besant became involved in theosophy, a spiritual and philosophical movement founded by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. She played a significant role in the Theosophical Society and eventually became its president. Besant's interest in spirituality, metaphysics, and the esoteric sciences led her to become a prolific writer and lecturer on these subjects. Besant's work as a theosophist involved promoting religious and philosophical syncretism, seeking common ground between various religious and spiritual traditions. Her writings explored topics such as reincarnation, karma, and theosophical interpretations of ancient texts and teachings.
